Cultures of Kanara Mention of the languages spoken is misleading. Tulu and Konkani are the major languages apart from Kannada which is the official language of Karnataka state where this region belongs to. In the southern part (upto Udipi) Tulu is very much spoken but in the northern part it is mostly Kannada which is the most spoken language. Konkani and Christian community throughout the region speak Konkani. Tulu and Kannada are spoken by people irrespective of their religion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.153.162.134 (talk) 04:33, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Uh why did this change name to karavali? Doesnt make any sense as this region is still more popularly recognised as Kanara and only kannadigas call it as Karavli. Kanara is much more appropriate term for this. There is no official term for the 3 districts. SthegreT (talk) 20:56, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Karavali → Kanara Yes, Karavli doesn't means coastal karnataka, Karavli means "coastal" only. Historically "Kanara" only used, still using. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.45.194.98 (talk) 15:27, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

It's better if only coastal Talukas considerd for kanara region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.45.194.98 (talk) 15:35, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Land Reclamation?

The history section refers to when the "coastal strip of Canara was reclaimed from the sea" but Geography section does not mention reclaimed land. How much land - and when? Tiddy (talk) 05:26, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Rename it as TULUNADU

Dakshina kannada udupi and kasargod is tulu nadu. its not kanara. some kannada hate monger are doing this on purpose please revert it to tulunadu and remove uttara kannada from tulunadu page as its not a part of tulunadu. or else add separate page for tulunadu. you cant redirect the tulunadu to kanara we are the people of tulunadu does not want to be called as kanara or costal karntaka people mind it. we are from tulunadu so call it as tulunadu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickyamin (talk • contribs) 09:21, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Canara is not the Konkan region

Probably, because of the incorrect naming of the Konkan Railway, which runs beyond the Konkan into the Canara subregion of Carnataca, Konkan is often popularly confused with Canara.

Strictly speaking, Konkan starts at Damaon and ends at Carwar. Please see the source linked here for your reference: https://books.google.co.in/books?id=2lyNDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT57&dq=konkan+daman+to+karwar&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwifttXokcmQAxVaXWwGHWGyC4sQ6AF6BAgQEAM#v=onepage&q=konkan%20daman%20to%20karwar&f=false

So the whole of western Carnataca AKA Canara is not Konkan. Just only the town of Carwar is. Nolicamaca (talk) 10:26, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Kanara → Kannad CoastKannad Coast – I feel it is more appropriate, as it is a geographical region between the Konkan Coast and the Malabar Coast (which both have ‘Coast’). CatholicChristian (talk) 04:48, 13 June 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. 1isall (talk | contribs) 12:41, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose, no evidence of WP:COMMONNAME provided, proposed isn't mentioned in the article. Using 2022 Ngrams, no results for the proposed. The other article is at Konkan not Konkan Coast. DankJae 21:39, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
